More like gryfindor won the year

that shoulder looks like a dude though, bangs to hide the prominent forehead, but the big back & small hips dont like. she deserves million points that will make Dumbledore go gay. lol. now I get where she’s coming from with all these causes on sexuality.

I didn't know Gryffindor could get points for saying sexist shit. Oh well, touchy-feely misinformed feminist snowflakes for the win! Wooooooooooooo!!

"She says that sexual violence should be treated as violence and not treated as a light misdemeanor." It isn't treated as such in the developed world. "Some people don't see sexual violence for what it is and therefore do not associate the term with the act; that is what she is saying." Guess it depends on what you consider sexual violence. "She says that women aren't the only ones who need to stand up for gender equality for women." No one should stand up for gender equality, because the genders are objectively different and therefore cannot be equal. They can have the same rights, which they do in the developed world. "In a nutshell, men should not only focus on their own social issues but also assist women in theirs." In a nutshell feminists need to do exactly that. " There are many studies being done on this subject which can help us all understand on the role and pay disparity that women face." There is zero evidence that a "pay gap" exists. "she doesn't have anything against men" Then why is she a feminist? "Maybe all those commenting here could take some time out and try to understand the issue and then place a comment. " Maybe feminists could take some time and actually substantiate their wild claims with actual facts and data? "Gender equality has been an issue for all these years past and will probably still be an issue in years to come." Gender equality cannot exist. Men and women are genetically different. Female humans are more genetically similar to female chimpanzees than they are to male humans. Same goes for us men, we are more genetically similar to male chimps than female humans. THESE ARE FACTS. Men and women already have equal rights in the developed world, and that world is working hard to get the rest of the world to join us in the 20th+ century.

I would say getting 3 months of jail time for raping an unconscious woman is an example of sexual violence being taken very lightly. Have you even heard of rapist Brock Turner?

emma d I guess you and i have a different idea of what sexual violence is. Define your terms. Brock Turner didn't injure the woman in any way. She doesn't even have any memory of the event. Also 3 months of jail time and being a registered sex offender is not the same punishment as a light misdemeanor which is a fine. All this is beside the fact. This is a crazy exception that is probably not over with. This is not a typical rape case, and is not typical of the sentencing people face when convicted of rape.

jib1000 Thank you for your reply. Developed world: “the nations of the world which are considered more economically and technologically advanced; industrialized nations”. A developed world is a developed country, not just economically and technologically but socially as well. If we look it up, we will find arguments for why a nation is developed or is not developed and these articles largely focus on the economy, infrastructure, technology, living standards in general and so on. A truly developed world, as you have pointed out, would have equal rights for men and women. According to the United Nations Population Fund, “gender equality is a precondition for advancing development” and “gender equality remains an unfulfilled promise”. Here’s the link - www.unfpa.org/gender-equality. Not only the United Nations but the World Bank has almost yearly reports prepared on Global Gender Gap. Additionally, the developing world still exists because Third World Countries still exist - because developing countries and emerging economies still exist. In fact, the Global Gender Gap Report by the World Bank focused on 144 major and emerging economies. You can read about it here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Gender_Gap_Report In addition, as for you saying that “Gender equality cannot exist. Men and women are genetically different. Female humans are more genetically similar to female chimpanzees than they are to male humans. Same goes for us men, we are more genetically similar to male chimps than female humans. THESE ARE FACTS”, gender equality isn’t exactly looking at a genetic makeup of men and women and I don’t think chimpanzees have anything to do with this particular discussion. Humans may resemble chimpanzees genetically but we’re not chimpanzees so let’s just focus on one species. So, gender equality looks at men and women’s rights which SHOULD NOT be influenced by genetic makeup; that’s the whole point. Equal rights may be documented in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights but it doesn’t mean that everyone will follow it. It IS meant to be followed and yet some overlook it. You really mean to tell me that each and every person in this ‘developed world’ abides by the Declaration? Moreover, you say “Men and women already have equal rights in the developed world, and that world is working hard to get the rest of the world to join us in the 20th+ century”. You are right in that people are working hard to remind everyone that women DO HAVE equal rights and that women SHOULD BE TREATED LIKE THEY HAVE THESE RIGHTS. It is not about whether the genders are equal genetically or whether it has been established that women have equal rights, it is about each and every person, universally and unanimously, treating women equally - whether it is in the work field, education institutions or domestically. It is about doing it and not just establishing it. No developed or developing world has truly done that. In fact, just today I heard on the BBC radio station about how a woman was being abused in Brazil - this is just one of the many stories. Also, since gender equality is such a significant issue, it is part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations. If it wasn’t such an important issue, it would not have been a SDG. Furthermore, there ARE studies on the ‘pay gap’. Here is a list of scholarly articles that examine the gap. They may not be full articles but this proves that studies HAVE been done: scholar.google.com/scholar?q=studies+on+gender+pay+gap&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiIqKCN_KzPAhVBn5QKHV9HBmMQgQMIHDAA. Here is an article by the BBC on the pay gap: www.bbc.com/news/uk-37460778. Here is an article by the Huffington Post on the existence of the wage gap www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/no-the-gender-pay-gap-isnt-a-myth-and-heres-why_us_5703cb8de4b0a06d5806e03f. These are just some examples. Also, I agree that feminists should also focus on social issues of men. I have already stated that in my previous comment. A lot of the social issues in this modern era focus more on women because, traditionally, men have been more dominant and have been the center of attention. Furthermore, when I said that sexual violence is to be treated as just that and nothing less, I meant that when such violence does occur, it is not to be taken lightly. You said that it depends on what you consider sexual violence. Considering something is very subjective and people may differ in their conclusions so people should not ‘consider’ but actually understand what sexual violence really is what the already established universal definition is. Here are two links that might help: www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/sexualviolence/definitions.html and www.nsvrc.org/sites/default/files/Publications_NSVRC_Factsheet_What-is-sexual-violence_1.pdf In all, it is not just me or women in general, but the UN, the World Bank, numerous scholars, educational institutions and many other credible people and institutions also believe that gender equality is yet to be achieved. Hmm, guess they’re all feminists too, huh?

Then could you please tell me what a typical rape case is and what your definition of sexual violence is? Does the woman have to be conscious? Does she have to explicitly say 'No'? Hmm..you know the judge didn't give him a longer sentence because he thought the 14 year sentence would have a severe impact on the rapist. You could read more about this here: www.buzzfeed.com/katiejmbaker/heres-the-powerful-letter-the-stanford-victim-read-to-her-ra?.nn8aLjVzA#.gaa8KYOA9. Anyway, thank you for your input.

The Joker I didnt interpret it that way. She's fighting for gender equality all over the world. Even if that is so, she's just trying to help.

The Joker But what harm is she doing?

Benny Sun yes I know, i do agree with you on that. But she isn't doing anything wrong. I just mean theres no reason to hate on her when what she's doing is good. It might not be the best thing she should be doing, but it is good and I hope it helps the places that she is aiming for. Anyways, no disrespect. I get where you're coming from.

Jennah N now Feminist Whatson is nothing. HP gone, that bitch gone. That bitch is totally garbage....

"She isn't saying this stuff for herself" In fact she is, look at how Europe have become right now, full of stupid feminists and manginas. XD

she graduated in Brown University May 25 2014 ^_^

@Caleb Hancock well, she was getting very emotional on the topic of 'many' universities give that message (plus other messages oppressing women). Seems quite anecdotal since she's only been to one university. And the message itself doesn't always have to be explicit. You're just jumping to conclusions about another person and interpreted the video differently than I did. Which is fine, of course. You can get mad more, which is fine. You're entitled to your opinion :)

@Caleb Hancock I don't know about Brown. But in France, studies have shown that 1/20 women student had been raped. And it's taboo. I had a teacher who make us study a text were a women slept with her husband to make him stop hitting on her. My teacher did not make any statement one that, exepect that she was witty... Not all of my teachers did that, many talked to us about feminist waves in history. But another teacher invites men to whistle women on the street because "it's a compliment"...

@@Claire-oj6du Est-ce une bon chose? Les universités françaises sont-elles contre les inégalités sexuelles?

Then go there and make your own speech to them if you don't like her speaking in the West.

fleetstreet11 Some people are simply against this victim culture being spread across Western countries. It's already bad enough. Media says bullshit all the time, we don't like it. Maybe I could report the news better, but I got shit to do, will just have to continue calling it bullshit.

Feminism has no business in the Middle East also, its already spreading like cancer and women are starting to get depressed because of it.

@@l.s3132 Or women are being thrown into jail for advocating for their rights.

***** Well I didn't do that, because as I said I hate when girls do it to me!

Could you give me an example of when men tell women what to do all day?

No one is stopping you from being a farmer... there are just more farmers that are men.. Are men being opressed because there are less male hair stylists? No, females just tend to hold that job more often. I tell women what to wear? What?

Marko Crush what's condescending mean

Oh, and I suppose it makes much more sense for a man to dictate someone's future instead? This being spoken by a man, so I guess that makes sense. No one's telling you what to do. Gender equality is about having the same access to opportunities and basic rights. It's not that hard of a concept to grasp so I don't know why people are struggling with it so monumentally. Not to mention that her referral to rape on campus is both common, and looked upon in the wrong light just as frequently. I can't even count the amount of times I've seen or heard a story of a victim and the response has been "well, look at what she was wearing. she was basically asking for it" or "well what does she expect walking around at that time". Which, quite frankly and irrefutably, is disgusting. And how terrible is it that 11.2% of all students experience rape or sexual assault through physical force, violence, or incapacitation? Even with this, there are still the people who will stand by the man because the woman is somehow in the wrong. Anyone is free to their own self expression and if it shows their legs and some cleavage then how dare someone else put themselves on a pedestal to tell her that's not okay. Because a woman should not fear her safety, her rights, her alibi, and certainly not her life. The same goes for men who are also often victims- equality in every situation. In life, in general, in society, there should be no dictatorship, no superiority, and no inequality.

Emma watson: feminism isn't menhate. Me: what is she talking about? Me after watching Ocean's 8: nevermind, feminism is menhate!

No

I loved her but not her way of thinking. There are many flaws in it.

She still talks like an actress

Try to spreak at the UN!

the truth hurts most of the time, no need to hide from it

Why🤔

Absolutely Emma like my boy JP said we need more women brick layers, more women doing construction and building things. Not only to have a position of power because you’re a woman.

Nad Two Feminism is perfect for women who can't stand facts or differing opinions. Enjoy your safe space circle jerk club of whiny pansies while you can. The real world is gonna kick your ass.

Well, thank you for saying this in such a nice way. You should learn more respect.

Nad Two Telling the truth is more important than your feelings. Feminism makes you behave as though the opposite is true.

That's why we need feminism

Nad Two Disagreeing with your opinion is not why we need feminism. You don't have any proof of women being oppressed in the first world.

Triggered.

Well said DaffArt

IMNOTAMUSED1 that's your answer? ok

"all you're doing here is hate her because she is talking." No it's because she is lying.

I have to agree that there is much more to be done just by looking at the egoistic comments that are putting a female down just because she has asked the human race to respect one another equally. Ironically, there are people who are still clearly unaware or ignorant that equality set them free as well. (: This is why Our Shared Self is created.

Feminism doesn't rely on facts. Feelings hold more merit than facts.

I don't really think every feminist is like that...

sarah sh No, many individual feminists are not, but the movement itself is - a movement which individual feminists uphold, and refuse to criticize in any way - like it's holy scripture.

@allan general oh I don't want to listen to it over and over :)

***** You should understand and research and educate yourself about the past to learn more about today. Past experiences always reflects the future. It's up to us to change it and bring awareness. Good day.

***** It serves as a reminder on why domestic violence is still geared more towards women than men. Why rape is always an issue and people always victim blame, why most people whoa re in poverty are women + children. We need awareness in all areas and should try to change it for the future. And yes that includes today's society.

***** How about you learn history as to why domestic violence is such an issue and why it is predominately women who are abused. I am sure you will become more educated and enlightened :) . Good day. I also suggest to research your other fallacies as well.

Change is eminent, whether you bigots like it or not.

***** you don't understand how the past affects our future and how its a habitual cycle and it keeps happening over and over again. The same thing with rape, and poverty . It's funny though because matriarchal societies have been proven to yield more successful results when it comes to the land and its people. They are directly correlated to their nations/countries flourishing and that makes sense since we are the givers of life and can sustain that life when men destroy and pillage. I'm not saying all men but we are still not equal at all---not nearly enough women in politics, we still view them as sole nurturers when men can nurture and take care of children too, more women are in poverty as well as children versus men. That needs to change, as well as the sexual violence and violence in general against women. That is why we need people like Emma Watson to shed light on issues of gender inequality because it is real. You just feel threatened by your ego and haven't done your proper research.

Lol im from indo and i know the joke

If you do 1000. Points for gryfindor

because she's passionate about it

She's an actress?

Did anyone ask for ur opinion?

Maybe because she's acting

There's no doubt that women in some places are having a truly shitty time, and that this is morally wrong and needs to be stopped. But I would politely suggest that rich kids at elite universities don't have it so bad.

The places you are thinking of are not Western countries. Yet none of these famous feminists want to go near these places where violence and inequality of women is worse then we were 500 years ago.

Going to the middle east is like stepping in to a time machine set centuries ago. 4 years of study at a university and this is all these people have to show for it. A generic self entitled victim believing they suddenly know everything about the world. You can literally search up the real facts in under 10 minutes and debunk all this crap they have spent years being indoctrinated in. It's pathetic that someone as arrogantly stupid as emma watson is giving a speech to the most important people in the entire world.

That's totally opposite what she has tried to explain. When we can all be equal, men allowed to be vulnerable and the value of education and insight are appreciated, we all rise. Men don't have to be violent to be men, and women don't have to be dominated for men to feel like men. It's a major shift in our cultural values and it is long overdue. Evolve or Die. Together we Rise!

Patricia, I don't know where in the world you live, but in affluent England, where Emma is from, men are not violent, and women are not dominated. That was my point.

Granger

EXACTLY!

idk if you're this dense or just intentionally missing the point. She called it that bc that's what it is, while saying that others don't recognize it as such. How do y'all live up til 40 istg
